Arctis Nova Pro

I love the stealth pro’s and I also have the maxwells. I used to own the wired nova pros and have the epos h6. So these at £600 literally have no appeal to me. Maybe £350 to £400 but at £600 I doubt the sound quality is worth that and appears to just about convenience and features.

Just use a regular Steelseries nova pro wired I am an audiophile and they sound really really good

Hot take: when someone comes asking for a product in this sub, budget isn't a variable (mostly). When it comes to consumer goods like gaming headsets, you answer with whatever the true BIFL item is. Then the poster can determine whether they can afford it or not. OP, the answer is the [Arctis Nova Pro Wireless](https://steelseries.com/gaming-headsets/arctis-nova-pro)

So you came on here to criticize my recommendation and didn't spend two seconds to verify that the headset does in fact have replaceable batteries. In fact one of the amazing benefits of the headset is that it actually comes with two swappable batteries that charge in the base, and the headset itself has capacitors that allow the headset to stay on for about 30 seconds while you switch the batteries.

There's no meaningful difference between the reliability of the wired and wireless version.

If it were me I’d go to eBay and get a set of the wired nova pros or the wireless pros , with a warranty and then buy a set of wicked cushion ear pads and headband . Second option would be a set of razor black shark 2 wired headphones, for 100$ or buy the newer wireless model I believe the v 3 is 160$ and the v4 is 200$ . That my op I’ve had the nova pros for awhile now as a remote guy and they are my go to with the cushions , I still need to upgrade the headband though only thing I haven’t done. Edit : I bought my nova pro used on eBay with the warranty and warranties them when they had an issue . Got a second set and they have been solid

When using sonar the nova pros have great 3d audio and it is great pinpointing enemies Using the Maxwells 2 with atmos and playing with EQ I do feel like it is a better overall experience but not sure the directional audio is quite as accurate as the nova pros with sonar , it's so close and the Maxwells so better and have much better base ( not sure why people even criticize the bass ) I'm only a week in with Maxwells though but they are my go to for every game even the competitive stuff like Arc or BF6

Yes , nova elites are wireless , Nobody is buying the elites for only sound quality , the first reason anyone is looking at this is the wireless capability and everything comes after

Yes sir , my problem being is this headset worth DOUBLE the price of the normal nova pro which has the same funtionality , no way it can sound that much better

Wayyyy too many comments talking about getting audiophile setups or wired setups that are not compatible with all the same platforms , You will need 3 different headsets ( maybe 2 ) to replace this headset , only comparrison that should be given is if the normal nova pro or the astros are a better buy at the price because they are 2 headsets that can work on all platform without swapping a dongle around Stop bringing up audiophile or wired setups unless you are adding another headset or 2 that need to be purchased for the consoles

I have 2 consoles but mainly game on pc , i want a headset that i dont need to switch a dongle , has anc , swappable batteries , which is why i have the nova pros , If these are just better nova pros then i will either save a bit and get them or bday / xmas gift These high end products are not big sellers but alot of people will pay an extra hundo or 2 to get something higher end they would use for years
